Notes

On cover:
"SNAT"*(by FZ's broken leg, protruding through car window):
*"Any visual similarity between the cover of this album and the 'Uncle Meat' illustrated booklet [not to mention Ruben & The Jets] is only slightly intentional and contains 4 secret clues".

This cover also conveys the cruisin' for burgers Pachuco-style band - via the "LAS MOTHERS" reference - and the "RIFA" suffix to the title. (The 'Rifa' used in a 'posse' sense, as in The Toonerville Rifa. This 'Cholo' is credited within gatefold cover).

All selections recorded live at Pauley Pavilion, UCLA, Los Angeles, August 7, 1971.

Cut credits for this LP are derived from the info etching in the run-out.

Also, there's a V in both runouts.
